Tide: Good For Removing Feces Stains

By consumerist.comApril 3, 2008

<!––>One of the many uses for Tide is feces stains, so the company decided to open up the discussion by starting a whole thread devoted to their removal. Sprinkled in and amongst the legitimate feces stain removal company area a few suspect comments, like “im david michler. i had feces all over myslef the other day and this tide works great! i dont know how i got it on me but when i woke up 3 guys ran out my room. and it was all over my shirt and pants. i used tide about 3 days after the incident and it got it out with very little stains left over. thank you tide. i love you.” Then there’s “Josie” who says that until Tide came along, she used to take his soiled underwear back to Walmart for a refund, and “tammy ampersand” who warns against using Mountain Fresh for douching, “as it attracts birds.” No doubt sociologists will some day come up with a technical term for this juvenile online behavior, which has been seen in the past in the Amazon product reviews for the “Oozinator” toy gun, and milk. My only disappointment is that the related thread, “Big Game Stains and Solutions” had nothing in there about getting elk blood out. The sure-to-be-soon deleted message board posts, inside…

Unfortunately, I have narcolepsy. There have been a few times where I wake up with my undergarments soiled. I live in a rural area and if I hang them up to dry outside, all who pass by see my dirty underwear. Instead, the most affordable way I found was to take the origional package and return them back to wal-mart after all the fecal matter has dried (that way they can not tell from the smell). Being from a rural area, these people know who I am and I am afraid that one day they will know that the soiled panties are from me. Plus, I am really tired of returning these underwear. Does anyone have ideas how I may wash these in the comfort of my own home?

I have found that tide is a good douche for “private areas” (both back and front, for the ladies!) if diluted at a 20:1 ratio, with a few tablespoons of white vinegar added. Don’t use “Mountain Fresh,” though, as it attracts birds.

OK OK — It may be a pooped story, but you have to recognize that Tide is meeting a need. I used to be a hospital nurse and I can’t begin to tell you how many times I had feces (As well as urine, blood, spit, and snot) from other people on my scrubs and sneakers. Thanks to my trusty Tide pen and $20 bottle of tide from Sam’s Club – My scrubs were always shiney and new. With that said, poop is not the most difficult biological stain to remove. Good job Tide none the less.

I don’t think that Tide opened the feces thread. It looks like anyone can create a thread.

Here’s one under Stains, Personal:

whenever i use tide i get very orgasmic and this leads to having to clean the cloths again and again. Its just such a good product. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ohhhhhh there i go again sorry does anyone have a solution?

in the days before disposable diapers, this would have been valuable info. Now we pile up a mountain of poop filled plastic disposables and throw them in a landfill where they fester forever – 3.4 million tons worth – while insisting on paper over plastic at the grocery store. Well, at least they got those little tapettes that come up around the groin area instead of pins.
